# Nym CLI
|
|
|
|
This is a CLI tool for interacting with:
|
|
|
|
- the Nyx blockchain
|
|
- the smart contracts for the Mixnet
|
|
|
|
It provides a convenient wrapper around the [`nymd client`](../../common/client-libs) with similar functionality to the`nyxd` binary for querying the chain or executing smart contract methods.
|
|
|
|
And in the future it will provide an easy way to interact with Coconut, to issue and verify Coconut credenitals.
|
|
|
|
### It DOES NOT do these things:
|
|
|
|
The infrastructure components that run a [`gateway`](../../gateway), [`mixnode`](../../mixnode) or Service Provider have their own binaries.
|
|
|
|
The [`socks5`](../../common/socks5) client also has its own binary, or use [NymConnect](../../nym-connect).
|
|
|
|
# Installing
|
|
|
|
Download the CLI binary for your platform from https://nymtech.net/downloads or get a specific version from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases?q=nym-cli&expanded=true).
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
The Nym CLI runs against mainnet by default.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use another environment, you can do this by:
|
|
- providing a `.env` file
|
|
- setting environment variables ([see here for options](../../common/network-defaults/envs/mainnet.env))
|
|
- passing named arguments
|
|
|
|
### `.env` File
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to provide this:
|
|
|
|
1. A file called `.env` in the same directory as the binary
|
|
2. Pass the `--config-env-file` along with a command
|
|
|
|
### Passing named arguments
|
|
|
|
You will need to pass the following with every command as an argument:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--mnemonic <MNEMONIC>
|
|
--nymd-url <NYMD_URL>
|
|
--mixnet-contract <MIXNET_CONTRACT_ADDRESS>
|
|
--vesting-contract <VESTING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# How do I use it?
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to find out how to use the CLI is to explore the built-in help:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nym-cli --help
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Generating user docs
|
|
|
|
There is a [Makefile](./Makefile) with a target to build the user docs:

|
|
|
```
|
|
make generate-user-docs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build the tool and run the `generate` command:
